"A shortstop usually has pretty good command of where he's throwing the baseball all the time," manager Joe Girardi said of choosing Gonzalez. "So I just figured he's the guy."
The Yankees wanted to save their tired bullpen in a blowout loss.
Gonzalez went 1 for 3 at the plate with a single and is batting .333 in three games since coming over from the Cubs.

Price already underwent an MRI and "nothing seems to be serious," according to Maddon. The starter said he's had no prior issues with his triceps. He felt the tightness several times during his third inning.
"There was nothing really hot on the MRI," Maddon said. "From what I'm hearing right now, it doesn't sound too awful."
Price took the loss Wednesday against the Red Sox as he allowed four runs on five hits and a walk before leaving after 2 1/3 innings. His ERA is up to 5.24.

Moreland has secured an everyday spot and has Nando eyeing a 25-homer season, with nine already on the board. Nando also sets an over/under on Moreland's ownership at 87 percent by the end of the month, after he jumped up from 33 to 57 percent just over the last week.
If you are looking for an upgrade at first base, you can definitely do worse than a 27-year-old with growing power who doesn't strike out much and has improved his batting average at least 21 points in each of the last two seasons. That he plays in a solid lineup in a hitter's park is all the more reason to run out and grab Moreland.

"Who’s talking about keeping his spot?" Baker said. "He’s doing better than some of the guys on our staff. I don’t understand why it comes down to Leake and somebody else. Leakie’s pitched well. He’s taken us deep into games."
Baker did not give any insight on who could be bumped from the rotation upon Cueto's return.
"We’ll let you know when that happens," Baker said. "I don’t think it was a matter of Leakie pitching to keep his spot. It was his spot before anyone else came. You just don’t give up on somebody that quick."

Blanks is hitting .250 in 20 appearances, and our Nando Di Fino thinks he might be worth a look in NL-only Fantasy formats, in his latest Waiver Wire column. Nando is banking on Blanks turning his gaudy minor-league numbers into something resembling production at the major-league level, so Wednesday's home run is certainly a start.
Blanks isn't the safest option, but he is just 26 years old with upside, on an offense-starved team. If he can start hitting the ball reasonably well, Fantasy owners looking for a punch in NL-only formats might want to keep an eye on him.
